Duchess of Cambridge prank DJ back on Australian airwaves

One of the Australian DJs behind the prank call to the Duchess of Cambridge’s hospital is back on air.

On Monday, Michael Christian hosted his first radio show since the nurse who answered the phone killed herself.

He made no reference to the incident on Melbourne’s Fox FM, sister to the Sydney station behind the prank.

His return comes after prosecutors said they would not press charges against Christian and fellow DJ Mel Greig over Jacintha Saldanha’s death in December.

The pair posed as Prince Charles and the Queen in the phone call to King Edward VII’s hospital in London where Kate Middleton was having pregnancy treatment.

The chief executive of Southern Cross Austereo, which owns 2Day FM, Rhys Holleran said: ‘We are happy to have Michael back on air. We have always supported our talent returning to work when appropriate, and today marks that occasion for MC [Michael Christian].
